When Amanda's boyfriend, Danny returns from New York, she finds he doesn't look the way she remembered. He's now got a face full of acne which embarrasses her. Danny is hurt when she fails to defend him in front of her classmates, especially when she proclaims he's not her boyfriend. Amanda attempts to make up for her wrong doings by buying him some zit cream which he explains to her won't help. She tells him he's changed and he remarks to her that she's the one who's changed: because she has become so superficial. Later on she realizes Danny is right and attempts to become his friend again before he leaves to go live in New York with his mother permanently.
